  1. I like your work! That fork works so well with frame.
  2. Is this competition international or for SA only? OK, I see its international. A large one for me please!
  3. Merlin Di2 on Weightweenies And here is a company that sells an XTR/Di2 groupset. The rear mech is modified to handle an 11-36 cassette. $5000.00
  4. Depending in the type of headet, is it a good idea to face the head tube before installation? (Like one does with the BB)
  5. XC Race saddle with carbon rims and Tune (?) hubs Looks like some kind on fancy pants show build.
  6. Here it gets a bit of yellow for the next few days:
  7. Bad luck for Greg. Goes to show that all the talent in the world is nothing without a bit of luck at the right time.
  8. most of my cycling jerseys become compression garments over winter...
  9. Thanks 'This competition is currently closed' Up and running now
  10. Am I being doff? I can't find the TdF Oakley competition on Supersport.
  11. These are a bit more subtle.
  12. There are some nice versions and some really 'OUT THERE!' designs
  13. They ride Colnago now.
  14. From: Riis, Contador and the elephant in the room (cyclesportmag.com) Contador. “... I am the most controlled rider. Every race I am taking part in, I am the most controlled rider. ..."
  15. Got DSTV connected for July Got snacks and beverages Got Official TdF guide PM'ed teams and names to Frosty. Sent wife and kids away for 10 days All sorted except I cant get 3 weeks leave from work.
  16. Do you ride with flat or riser bars? Maybe your bars need to be a tad higher? Dont raise them too much that you struggle to keep your front wheel down on steep climbs...
  17. Where can I get more info on those wheels? (Google didn't offer much info.) Weight, spoke count, weight limit, hub specs etc.
  18. In case you weren't sure, this is Rabobank's new Giant TCR Advanced SL
  19. Either build the wheels up with some Campy hubs or understand that the seals on the DT hubs might not be so great and need to be checked more regularly than other hubs. I dont know anything about DT, so cant really comment. Do some searches and see what the rest of the world thinks.
  20. Here is a fun website to play around on if you have a wheel fetish: Wheelbuilder.com How about something along the lines of: Chris King R45's with Enve (or Reynolds ?) 65mm rims with DT Aerolite spokes ?
  21. I know this has been discussed at length more than once on other threads, but I dont agree. After spending R30k+ on a bike at an apparently reputable shop that is part of a high profile country wide chain, someone shouldn't have to make sure the bike is OK and to spec before leaving.
  22. Giant Anthem X (26 or 29) is about R30k
  23. The English version doesnt have chapter 1 loaded up yet.
  24. Keep an eye on this website: Roues Artisanales Full Carbon Wheels Test 2011 Chapter 1 now out in French Use Google Translate Toolbar to um... Translate. He reckons that the Lightweights are still on top of their game and quality is good. Mavics were bad in terms of quality. There are several other brands that we don't really get here.
